IS THERE ANY HOPE
NEW AND IMPORTANT OPINIONS E., OF PULMONARY EXPERTS
Can the Universal Consumption be
 SUccessfnlIy Treatedl

Dr. Borgeon, leading French doctor, has new treatment for Consump jon.
 He gIyes an enema Of carbcnic acid sulphurettcd. hydrogen gases, the latter gas carrying the former into every part of the throat and lungs.
 This treatment, too, is directed al etects--the cause remains undisturbed.
 What this caus eis has been stated by perhaps the highest pulmonary authority in the world, !. c., the Brompton Hos. pital for COnsumptives, in London, Eng.
 This malady every year carries off from one-seventh to one-fifth of the entire population of England!
 Dr. Payne, NJ. D, MR.C.P., London, is authority for this statement.
 The same or a greater proportion of deaths obtains in America.
 Dr. Payne also says that one-half the total number of deaths from all other causes have seeds of this disease in the system which only require some irritant to develop!
 Dr. Hermann Brehmer, an eminent German authority, says that consump- ton is caused by deficient nutrition of the lungs, by poor blood-~S
 These authorities cannot be disputed. The medical world recognizes them. The uric acid is the irritant in the blood that causes the development ot the seeds which Dr. Brehmer says lie dormant in the blood.
 Every particle of blood which passes through the lungs and heart, also goes through the kidneys, and il they are in the least deranged they cannot rid the blood of it's killing poison. The thousand little har-like sewer tubes of the kidneys very easily get blocked up and diseased; and when they do, they corrupt instead | of purifying the blood. Kidney disease may exist, and yet no pain occur in that | organ, because 1t is deficient in nerves of sensation.
 Dip your finger in acid every day and l it soon testers and is destroyed. Send acid poisoned blood through the lungs every second, and they soon give way. The Brompton Hospital investigation | showed that 52 per cent. of the victims l of consumption were afflicted with de. 1 ranged kidneys, which permitted the uric acid poison to remain in the blood and ! irrltate the lungs. This uric acid is al- ways fighting every vital organ, and if there be any inherent weakness in the | lungs it inevitably causes pneumonia, ! cough and cUns umption.
 The real cause of pulmonary troubles l being so autnoritatiyely shown to be I laulty even lhou- h unsuspected action of | the kidneys, explains why, in order to master the drt aded consumI ton, one must.rid the blood ol the ur.c acid irri- | tant winch iIfiames anu burns up the lung substance. For this purpose there k nothing equal to that great specific, | Warmers sae cure. This remedy has now the favor ol medical men all over | the world purely on lts merits. We have no doubt that Il the kidneys are kept in natural acton, consumption and great many other diseases, caused by uric acid, w,li not only be cured but will be pre- vented.
 When the kidney is healthy, no albu- men appears in the water, but albumen | is found in the water Of more than half l oi those Wuo die of consumption
 This, then, is the condition of things ] tlat always precedes consur ption: First, weakened kidneys; second, re- tained uric acld, poisoning the blood; third, the development of disease in the lungs by the irritant acids passing through them. Then there is little cough in the morning; soon thick, yellow matter is spit up, followed by loss of flesh and stIength, with dreadful night sweats; and when the patient goes to his school physician for help, he is put on cod-liver oil which his stomach, weak ened also by uric acid in the blood, can- not digest. Because there is no pain 1 present in the kidneys, the patient does not think they are affected but the kid ney acid IS doing its work every minute, every hour, day and night, and by-and-by 1 the disease of the lungs has advanced l ,u I,vra images, and at last the glassy stare which denotes that the end is near!
 A post-mortem examination of such cases shows that the terrible uric acid has completely destroyed the substance of the lung.
 It is impossible to cure lung disease when the blood is poisoned with uric acid.
